Yes, I will add that.  Send your reports! ;)

In my opinion, status reports about changes there fit the "docs" category.  
Too fine-grained classification does not make too much sense here nor do I 
except more than one or two reports in this category.  This is why I think 
it's justified to keep it merged with "docs".

This one is a common dominator and idea behind the status reports.  Special 
advocacy events - such as conference announcement - should probably go to 
"misc" where everybody will see them.  I am not convinced that we need this 
separately.

However, nothing is finally here, if people submit a lot "foobar" reports, we 
will create a category for them.
